V&A and Liberty fabrics

Woah nelly! The Victoria & Albert Museum in London has teamed up with Liberty to produce limited edition cotton fabrics replicating designs from the V&A's quilts collection. These little gems below are from designs dating from the 1780s to 1830s. More on the V&A website, where the fabrics are available to pre-order. Planning to make a dress out of... Seed Head! No... Ikat! No... can't... choose...
